Bad Gambler: Gambling Blocker

Bad Gambler is a free gambling blocker and recovery support app that helps you block gambling sites and apps, reduce gambling harm, or quit gambling for good.

Choose the path that fits your goal. If you want to quit entirely, Bad Gambler can help you turn on quit-mode protection, track your progress, manage urges, connect with community support, and stay accountable. If you are not ready to quit, you can use harm reduction tools to schedule gambling blocks around the times you need extra protection.

Two tracks for your recovery

Quit gambling for good

Set up blocking protection, track your gambling-free progress, see time and money saved, manage urges, connect with others through community support, and build momentum one day at a time.

Harm reduction

Not everyone is ready to stop completely. Schedule gambling blocks for specific times, set recurring limits, and create space between you and gambling apps or websites when risk is highest.

Free to use

Bad Gambler is entirely free. The blocker, recovery tools, scheduled blocks, progress tracking, urge support, community support, and accountability features are available without payment.

App and website blocking protection

Bad Gambler helps you block gambling apps and websites you choose to avoid.

With your permission, Bad Gambler uses Android’s AccessibilityService API to provide app-blocking protection. AccessibilityService allows Bad Gambler to detect when you open apps or browsers that match your blocking settings and show a blocking screen to help you follow your recovery plan.

This permission is only used for blocking and recovery features. Bad Gambler does not read private messages, record audio, monitor your private activity, collect sensitive information, change your device settings without permission, or bypass Android privacy protections.

Fine-grained blocking control

Bad Gambler blocks traditional gambling content like casinos, casino games, and sportsbooks. You can also choose optional blocking categories for more control, including Crypto & DeFi, high-risk trading, prediction markets, and investing apps or sites.

Scheduled gambling blocks

Create blocks for now, later, daily, or weekly. Use scheduled blocks to protect high-risk hours, payday, evenings, weekends, or any time you are more likely to gamble.

Progress tracking

Track your quit date, last gambling date, money saved, time saved, milestones, and relapse history without judgment.

Community support

If you are quitting gambling, Bad Gambler includes community support to help you feel less alone and stay connected with others working toward recovery.

Accountability

Add an accountability partner or sponsor if you want extra support. Bad Gambler is designed to help you stick with the protections you choose and create healthy distance from gambling.

Built for gambling recovery

Bad Gambler supports people dealing with sports betting, casino apps, slots, poker, lottery, scratch cards, crypto, high-risk trading, prediction markets, and other gambling-like behaviors.

Bad Gambler is not a casino app and does not provide gambling. It is a free gambling blocker and recovery support app built to help you reduce gambling harm, schedule limits, or quit gambling entirely.
